Verdict
Starduster can win the finale at the expense of Pagan Quest, Bold Cheverak and Bold Maggie. With a good draw in stall two for the concluding sprint maiden, hopes are high that Starduster can finally her her head in front on what will be her 13th career start. Rod Millman's filly has finished runner-up no less than five times already, but has taken on decent opponents, including the progressive Neverletme Go at Nottingham 11 days ago. Granted she has been hard to place up to now, but will surely open her account soon. Pagan Quest threw away his chance at Brighton by rearing at the start, but he still finished third to Golden Asha and should go well. Bold Cheverak has been out of form but is turned out quickly after running down the field at Ripon four days ago and should be watched in the market. Bold Maggie posted her best effort yet when second in a lady riders event here last month, and that was despite her rider becoming unbalanced near the finish. It would be no surprise if she were to be placed, but Starduster has yet another sound opportunity and is taken to make the most of it this time.
